Theft remained the most common call-out at 29 incidents, followed by attempted theft (15) and burglary attempts (13). Positive Burglary and medical emergencies were tied at 9 each, and our teams also responded to 6 vehicle related incidents.

Saturday 18 July was the busiest day of the week with 19 incidents recorded, while things were noticeably quieter midweek on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Newton Park saw the most activity this week with 7 incidents, followed by Walmer (6), and Sidwell and Fairview (5 each). Twenty suburbs across the Bay recorded just a single incident each, a reminder that no area is completely without risk.

A few reminders for residents and businesses this week: arm your alarm every time you leave, even for short trips. Report anything suspicious to our control room immediately, quick reporting helps us respond faster. And keep gates, doors and windows secured, especially overnight and during those quieter midweek hours.
